If I'm really that important to you, then listen to what I'm saying, knucklehead. I want you to chase the things you believe are yours. Even if that guy isn't you, it's still your mystery to chase. You want it.
I didn't ask you just to tell you that you should stop. I asked to see if that's what you really wanted. I don't want to lose you, but if I mean that much to you, then becoming a little more feral in the process isn't going to take that away, right?
I would rather tear out your heart than leave. You're wondering about the elephant in the room, right? Losing yourself, hurting Acidia? Leaving me to watch? Find out after?
Okay.
I would rather stand there and make you wish you weren't alive than leave.

If you ever need space, you tell me. I wont give ya trouble.
Re: 21...6? 7? AFTER DRAMA
I'll tell you. But right now? I don't. I want the opposite of space.
If you hurt me on purpose without a better option available, I'll hurt you back. That's it.
